We introduce block models with edge and block covariates ,along the lines of Hoff, Handcock,Raftery (2002) ,specializing to covariate forms of the types proposed by Zhao, Levina,Zhu(2014) and generalizing that of Newman ,Clauset(2015)..WE study mean field variational fitting in this situation along the lines of Celisse,Daudin,Pierre( 2011 ) and B.,Choi,Chang,Zhang (2013).Using theory,examples, and simulations we argue that these methods ,possibly regularized lead to models with a sparse number of blocks.
